Brandon, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for having this channel. Thankfully because of you and my hard work and consistency I reached my goal of passing the teas test.. & a big thanks to you because your the reason I learned the material for math.. I watched your whole teas test playlist over and over and over.. and the results showed... My math test score from the previous time I took the test was a 53.1 and today I got a 84.4 on math.. I could not be more happy because math is my weakness and I proved to myself you can do anything you set yourself to. Thank you once again! Your the real MVP !!!!
Thanks and you're welcome Thandi. It will come with time. Glad you found the tutorial useful. Check out my full TEAS Review page at idomath.weebly.com under the TEST PREP tab.
Brandon, Thank you so much for taking so much time out of your life to explain math so perfectly! You videos are awesome and it is due to your excellent teaching methods that the formulas are all coming back to me. Thank you again, taking the Teas Test in July !!
Good stuff! I appreciate the kind words and hope that you will follow up with your results and recommendations after you take the test in July. Make sure to try my free practice test as well over at www.bcraftmath.com/atiteas
I really wish I had started watching your videos back at the beginning of my studies. I went from a low 50s up to a 70s on my ATI. never been good in math. Word problems really would get me so thank you!
Hey, your videos are amazing! I'm having trouble figuring out when to use a porportion vs make an equation when doing word problems. Any ideas on how I can remember?
Hey there! One good indicator that a proportion needs to be used is when you are trying to convert one thing to another. Example: feet to inches.... pounds to kilograms.... etc. If some type of conversion factor exists (12in = 1ft.... 2.2pounds = 1kg....), then a proportion may be your best plan of attack.
+Lyndsey Brodt I'm glad you found these as well! I'm a college math instructor so math is the only help I can provide. Good luck on the TEAS and let me know if you have any questions.
Do you have a video that goes over a question similar to #5 in Section 9 of the workbook? I'm not understanding the explanation in the solutions section.
Perhaps the part of solving systems of equations is causing this issue. It is hard for me to pinpoint the problem if I cannot see your work. If it is systems of equations, I have an entire playlist on solving those, and this is what is needed to solve your problem after you have the equations set up. Check out this series: ua-cam.com/play/PLGVFcC04Alxecu9dOBGnFgEhCNc8VUWtX.html
Hopefully you can help me w/this problem I'm using the Teas Prep-Pocket and I 'm stuck- First Taxi charges a flat rate of $2.25 plus $0.60 per mile. Linda has to spend less than $13, how many miles can she travel w/o going over her budget?- Now I'm not sure if I'm using the proportion right because everytime I set the problem up my numbers are large instead of whole number or single numbers.. I crossed multiplied by making x as miles and none of my answers are correct... then I added $ 2.25 w/ $0.60 ...I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong thanks
I would try the work backwards approach. You know that Linda has 13 dollars. Automatically she has to pay the flat rate of $2.25. So.... $13.00 - $2.25 = $10.75 Therefore, she has $10.75 left over which she can use to pay for the mileage. Since each mile costs 60 cents ($.60) we can take the $10.75 and divide it by $.60 to figure out how many miles she can go..... which gives us approximately 17.9 miles.
@Young Dende I wasn't referring to the exact question as the original comment. In general though. Think about it like this. If I say I have less than $13.00 in my wallet, is it possible for me to have $5.99? Yes, because that is less than $13.00. Is it possible for me to have $14.00 in my wallet. No, since I said I have less than $13.00. How's that?
Hi Brandon, while doing your practice test on the website, you stated that 1 mile=0.62km. Whereas, in my text book, 1 Mile=1.609km. Please can you verify that . Thank you
Brandon what is the easiest way to finding this problem out.. Robert is planning to drive 1,800 miles on a cross-country trip. If his car gets 30 miles to the gallon, and his tank holds 12 gallons of gas, how many tanks of gas will he need to complete the trip? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
I would first figure out how many gallons of gas it will take Robert to drive the whole trip. 1800 miles divided by 30 mpg = 60 gallons of gas for the whole trip. Since one tank holds 12 gallons, 60 gallons of gas divided by 12 gallons per tank equals 5 tanks of gas. Final answer.... 5 tanks of gas. How's that?

Holy moly!!! What an AWESOME improvement. I'm thrilled to hear these results and I also want to thank you for letting me know. Hearing things like this are the reason I do what I do! Job well done!
Typically when any two things are getting compared, boys to girls, feet to inches, chocolate candies to fruit candies, miles and gallons.... any two things.... a proportion can likely be the method needed to solve.
Mr Craft I have a question can you help me find the answer to this problem For every two pecan trees there are five apples trees for every 2 peach trees there are 4 pecan trees if there are 24 total peach trees how many apples are in the orchard?
Some say they were given conversions and I have heard other students say that you need to know them. I don't know as I haven't taken the TEAS myself. Better safe than sorry so it may be worthwhile to know them.
hey mr brandon, so i tried to solve the problem before you did, but i still got 4 just with a different method, i changed 500mg to grams and got 0.5 and used that to multiply by 48 and then divide by 6
Thank you....so which proportions will have the same unit on one side. I always thought they were distributed among both sides like this video then your other video threw me off 😮
See the problem is with word problems with me how do I figure out rather I multiply or divide fast. Cause you know it’s timed n sometimes I have blind moments. I need to know what to do off top I be nervous n get dumb. You know what I mean?
I do understand what you are saying. Learning how to set up proportions correctly (and solve them) will prevent you from making the multiply vs. divide mistake. With practice, you can read a word problem, set up a proportion and solve it in about 30 seconds. Practice is key. Try googling "proportions worksheet with answer". You can find many worksheets with JUST proportions, try them all out, checking each answer and with repetition of this concept, you will soon see a pattern and ways that you can solve them quickly.
Brandon Craft see the problem is I need to learn how to set them up properly. I be trying to do it from the top of my head n if their is a long word problem I get lost. Thanks I will definitely use that
Absolutely. ATI still uses the same goals for the TEAS 7. Look for the eyeballs and the magnifying glasses (👀 🔍 READ THIS FIRST 🔎 👀) at www.bcraftmath.com/atiteas. That will show you everything I have and how to properly use these resources.
Samgoeslikewooh! I can try. Make the request at idomath.weebly.com/klwp That is where I keep up with the requests. There are quite a few tutorials in queue so it will be a while, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks!
Hey! I appreciate it. Though the pass rate isn't 100%, I do take my job very seriously and try to do alot to help my students succeed. I appreciate the comment. 👊👍

Thank you so much for sharing this. This will definitely motivate others. Congrats on tackling the TEAS!
Ada Pacheco I hope I can do the same I’m terrible at math
Hi I’m taking teas next month what do you recommend I should study especially for for science
Here is a video to give you some tips on prepping for math... ua-cam.com/video/mu0GxVw_cF8/v-deo.html
You deserve way more views! Thank you so much for this!
Thanks and you're welcome Thandi. It will come with time. Glad you found the tutorial useful. Check out my full TEAS Review page at idomath.weebly.com under the TEST PREP tab.
Brandon Craft Yes, I checked your website out earlier; it's wonderfully designed and straight forward just like your lessons. All the best!
Awesome! Good luck with the TEAS!
Brandon Craft Thank you! 😊
You bet!
I love the way you break it down
Thanks Tan! Make sure to check out idomath.weebly.com under the TEST PREP for a full list of all my TEAS stuff.
Me too!

Stick around for other videos as well. I'm guessing you will be taking a Med Dosage class soon?
@@bcraftmath I've actually completed that and passed my exam over 85% over a year ago. So, I will watch your videos for refresher. :) Thanks
thank you so much i'm glad someone posted your web site in the teas group you break it down in my opinion better then some others I've seen
+Naomi Knox Thanks Naomi. Good luck on the TEAS. Feel free to request more math tutorials at my website. I have a request tab there. 👍👊

Mr. B...YOU ROCK
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial.
When I tell you I get confuse on these test but you explain so good 😊 thank you
Practice makes perfect! I'm glad the tutorials are helping. Hang in there. You got this.... Stay Gud.
thank you! This video was well explained!
I’m really learning from your videos. I don’t know when I will be ready to take the test
Im glad the tutorials are helping. There's quite a few videos to watch. Also, make sure to check out www.bcraftmath.com for all of my TEAS math stuff.
Brandon Craft ok thank you
im SO happy I found these videos!!! do you have a video for the reading, science, and English portion of the book?
+Lyndsey Brodt I'm glad you found these as well! I'm a college math instructor so math is the only help I can provide. Good luck on the TEAS and let me know if you have any questions.

Gives you time to study more.

Be careful... on the problem I said 0.62mi = 1km (not 1 mi = .62km)... Hope that helps. :)

Brandon how can you tell when a problem is related to proportions ?
Typically when any two things are getting compared, boys to girls, feet to inches, chocolate candies to fruit candies, miles and gallons.... any two things.... a proportion can likely be the method needed to solve.
Are these math videos helpful for 2020 TEAS?
It is the same TEAS in 2020. Check out www.bcraftmath.com/atiteas for everything related to the 2020 math portion of the TEAS.
example #2. On the teas test we will need to know the metric system or will KHDUCM be helpful in that particular type of problem.
kamal0417 khdudcm will work for metric conversions.
Mr Craft I have a question can you help me find the answer to this problem For every two pecan trees there are five apples trees for every 2 peach trees there are 4 pecan trees if there are 24 total peach trees how many apples are in the orchard?

Will the conversion be given to us on the TEAS exam?
Some say they were given conversions and I have heard other students say that you need to know them. I don't know as I haven't taken the TEAS myself. Better safe than sorry so it may be worthwhile to know them.

Either way works. So many ways I know..... 😉

Thank you so much I only didn’t get numbers 5 and number 17.
You sound just like Nomad Nurse:)
We both have that country accent going on for sure. :)
I wish you were doing this in 2018
I am.... www.bcraftmath.com and check out the ATI TEAS tab. 😉
Are these videos still valid for the teas 7?
Absolutely. ATI still uses the same goals for the TEAS 7. Look for the eyeballs and the magnifying glasses (👀 🔍 READ THIS FIRST 🔎 👀) at www.bcraftmath.com/atiteas. That will show you everything I have and how to properly use these resources.
please teach me how to make a liquid circle in klwp
Samgoeslikewooh! I can try. Make the request at idomath.weebly.com/klwp That is where I keep up with the requests. There are quite a few tutorials in queue so it will be a while, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks!
If you teach like this I imagine you have like 100% pass rate in your class. Thanks so much!
Hey! I appreciate it. Though the pass rate isn't 100%, I do take my job very seriously and try to do alot to help my students succeed. I appreciate the comment. 👊👍
Like if you are studying this for the TEAS knowing that you will never use all these complicated equations in your life.
